I want my money back from Saturdays KISS concert. Did anyone else notice the fill-in for Gene Simmons? Why would the #1 mouthpiece for the band seem virtually invisible the entire night? He was barely on screen, he said virtually NOTHING during the concert, and for some weird reason when he was singing on stage, his image on the large screen had a time-delay(not so for Paul Stanley).The new album is called ‘Imposters’ correct? How very a-propos…

Dude, are you still on mushrooms?
All 4 are impostors for fuck sake trying to impersonate musicians while parading around like clowns!
Fucking assholes.
I bet you think the Moon landing was filmed on a sound stage in Phoenix and 9/11 was in side job.
You conspiracy theorist people are all weird. Enjoy the tin foil hat
Bahaha Smee
lovinglife, where are you getting your info. You’re completely wrong. It was at Area 51 (that’s where they’re keeping the original members of KISS. Shhhhhhhhh don’t tell anybody.
BRO TIM IS A GOVERNMENT MOLE
*slams door to underground bunker*
on a serious note, how awesome would it be to have an underground bunker!!!!
you get wha you pay for,half price for a half group.too bad ace wasn’t there,he was most of the origional show.oh well,i won’t pay to see a half a group.
HAHAHAHA. OP you’re funny. Also, to Smee and LIFE SUCKS fuck off.
Simmons is 107, for fuck’s sake – cut him some slack – he just didn’t want the road map of his plastic surgery scars showing on the big screen.
what ever it was a good show regardless
I agree with TTFN. When you pay big monet to a bunch of guys who need to take Geritol to even climb up the steps to the stage you take your chances. Maybe Harold McKay can attract an act to Halifax that has made an album in the last 25 years.
I want a Diefenbunker, and I want it now!
Pretty soon some of these old fucks will be rolling on stage in a fucking bed, complete with oxygen tank. The concert cash is just too sweet. Rock and roll all night and every day indeed.
Why is everyone down on KISS because they’re so “old”? They put on an amazing show
Maybe, like me, they’re sick to death of the fact that the only big shows we get in Halifax are for geriatric, washed up bands.
Hey, I’m an old fart and I’m sick and fucking tired of all these ancient goddamn bands – everyone knows they’re just trying to top up their retirement funds – they know fucking well nostalgia plays well in the sticks and Halifax would certainly come under that category.
Besides, only two of the original members of KISS (me arse) were there, hardly a reunion.
Who said the concert was a fucking reunion? The “reunion” happened in 1996 and now it’s over. KISS functioned without Ace and Peter for almost 20 years (although admittingly not always well). Tommy Thayer did an excellent job of playing all of Ace’s licks and Eric Singer sang all of Peter’s parts to a tee. So you guys are sick of all these “old” bands hogging the concert scene eh? Well, maybe it’s a symptom of the shitty music scene. I’ve said it once and will continue to say it, name me some newer acts that would have the drawing power to pull off concerts at the Commons or Magnetic Hill.
Road trip to the Diefenbunker in Debert.
Let’s all hole up in the Diefenbunker for like 20 years and then maybe when we emerge the music will have come around again. Who’s with me? C’mon PTG, you can bus us all there
I don’t know what colour the sky is in your little world you skid mark, but that was Gene Simmons on Saturday night. You are an idiot.
Sweet, if someone wants to pay for it (and assuming I’m the lucky one assigned it), I’ll drive a Diefenbunker shuttle.
The music 20 years from now scares me.
Haters, go fuck yourselves. The better part of twenty fucking thousand people enjoyed themselves.
